Birmingham-7
EuroControl is reporting Birmingham BHX is closed to inbounds until ~2000UTC due to ATC data processing issues. SAS #SK2535 from Copenhagen (A320 OY-KAM) has diverted to Manchester.

Agreed. It seems very strange that the Cote d Azur is not served by any Midlands airport since the demise of BD, WW and ZB.
It actually serves as an all year round resort with the SKI season in the winter too.

February down 5.4% & January route analysis
Source: CAA Provisional Figures
February 2018 Passenger figures 764901 compared to 2017 of 809239.
However the bright spot was Emirates although down the average pax per flight was 531 - not many routes in the world that can beat that mainly because there isn't that many 615 seat aircraft.
Air India average 222 or 87% which basically means the messing around of the service by adding two direct Amritsar flights and reducing Delhi to five a week direct hasn't altered the figures hardly at all although March will be the first complete month.
January 2018 Analysis. Load factors estimated based on seat maps and the pax per flight from flight radar 24 and as you can see some routes have missing data. There are a few horrors but generally very good and considering the demise of Monarch, the reduction by Flybe and the loss of the New York flights and third Emirates it is not a bad showing.

NB. As data is taken from a FR24 (paid subscription) it can have some "data holes" through no fault of their own but this can lead to some errors in the average pax and thus load factor but usually the percentage error is low

Interesting to see Bergerac added in. With LBA/MAN/STN still to be released, would be interesting to see if any other French Destinations come up
I believe this takes based a/c upto 11, pretty impressive considering they had 0 a/c 3 years prior

Jet2 & TUI
Jet2
BHX press release states 41 destinations and 11 based at peak.
Only 39 summer destinations showing and 12 based all afternoons at the very least except Tuesday and Wednesday so clearly some changes due but pretty incredible expansion. Nice & Lisbon are notable destinations without competition although I think the latter would be new to Jet2 if they did take the plunge?
TUI 2019
Eight short-haul and one long-haul confirmed by the timings. Two gaps, one Thursday which I presume is Malta P & O and Sunday afternoon and again I assume the "mysterious" Split which gets announced every year and never operates. It is in the TUI press release I believe but I could not find it in the online holiday section, flight only or timetable.
